i want my corsa to be stiffer at the rear... it's 60mm at the minute but there's too much movement in the springs/shocks...

i have been told that bigger bump stops would sort it? is this true?

any help would be really appreciated, cheers

Are they not damping adjustable at the rear?

i need to have them so stiff it doesn't move more than about 20mm...

i've heard good things about those gaz ones... not found anywhere that sells just the rears yet though... any ideas?

it's definately something to consider, but i was told bigger bump stops would also limit the travel of the shocks, is this possible?

but you would be running on bumpstops permanently and it would eventually eat them

There was a set of the rear Gaz shocks on ebay just last week, went to £38 with 2 hours left so stopped watching
